I am one of the new members here. I recently joined as part of my search for a new boat. I am not a offshore boater, and the timing of my membership coincidentally aligned with the breaking of the tragic news (this is where I learned of the tragedy). My research is done, and I will be leaving shortly, but I just want to say a few things before I go.

I did post early on in this thread. My post was simply a reaction to a post, that was a reaction to another post. I was not trying to make a point, nor do I have an agenda. It was just a knee jerk reaction. Moments later, I realized that I had no place commenting in this thread in a manner that detracts from the initial purpose, but I cant edit or delete my posts, so there it stays for eternity.

God speed to all.

So tragic, So painful.... My prayers for all left in their wakes.

John151, Very well put. At times of high emotion knee jerk reactions can happen and you can only do exactly what you have so eloquently done. Even with your research done, no need to leave this family.

I was to extend my condolences and prayers to the friends and family of those who were lost this past weekend. I have live in the Texoma area for 35 years and I do enjoy watching these powerboats make their runs.
